Reading Rods Sentence Construction Set

The Reading Rods Sentence Construction Set offers a dynamic and tactile way to reinforce grammar and sentence structure for primary-aged learners. A great hands-on approach to help students reinforce, practice, and master key literacy skills as they build sentences, practise grammar, punctuation, parts of speech, vocabulary and writing. Includes 123 linking rods colour-coded by parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and punctuation. This interactive set encourages students to physically manipulate language components, allowing them to experiment with sentence building and explore word functions. Each rod links together easily, making it simple to form complete sentences, revise structures, or expand vocabulary creatively. Designed to engage kinaesthetic and visual learners, this set is ideal for both classroom instruction and independent learning. It's also an excellent resource for ESL learners or intervention programs targeting grammar and writing fluency. The included activity guide provides structured exercises and ideas to help educators integrate the rods into grammar lessons, sentence construction activities and vocabulary extension work.
